    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for drilling an anatomical element are provided. A drill bit may comprise a coaxial hollow shaft in communication with a plurality of apertures disposed on a surface of the drill bit. A fluid inlet may be in fluid communication with the coaxial hollow shaft via a selectively openable valve. The fluid inlet may be configured to receive pressurized fluid. When the valve is opened, the pressurized fluid may be released into the coaxial hollow shaft, and when at least one of the plurality of apertures is not blocked, the pressurized fluid may be released through the at least one aperture of the plurality of apertures.

    Abstract: A system comprises a robotic arm in a robotic arm coordinate system, a camera in a fixed pose in a navigation coordinate system, at least one processor, and memory including instructions that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to determine a pose of the robotic arm within the navigation coordinate system, map the robotic arm coordinate system to the navigation coordinate system based on the pose of the robotic arm, and control, based on output of the camera, the robotic arm in the navigation coordinate system.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking a pose of a target and/or tracking the target is provided. A first robotic arm may be configured to orient a first imaging device and a second robotic arm may be configured to orient a second imaging device. The first robotic arm and the second robotic arm may operate in a shared or common coordinate space. A first image may be received from the first imaging device and a second image may be received from the second imaging device. The first image and the second image may depict at least one target. A pose of the at least one target may be determined in the coordinate space based on the first image, a corresponding first pose, the second image, and a corresponding second pose.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for inserting a rod is provided. At least one tower extending from a head of a corresponding implanted pedicle screw may be tracked to identify a tower movement. An insertion point and a path from the insertion point to the at least one tower may be calculated. The rod may be inserted at the insertion point and along the rod and the path may be adjusted during insertion of the rod based on identified tower movement.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a safety mechanism for a robotically controlled surgical tool. Embodiments of the methods use sensors to detect parameters that vary by the tissue traversed by a surgical tool. The sensors detect signals arising from the interaction of the surgical tool with the tissue and provide this information to a robotic controller. For example, during drilling, the sensors may measure power, vibration, sound frequency, mechanical load, electrical impedance, and distance traversed according to preoperative measurements on a three-dimensional image set used for planning the tool trajectory. By comparing the detected output with that expected for the tool position based on the planned trajectory, identified discrepancies in output would indicate that the tool has veered from the planned trajectory. The robotic controller may then alter the tool trajectory, change the speed of the tool, or discontinue power to the tool, thereby preventing damage to underlying tissue.

    Abstract: A method for determining a work volume includes receiving image information from an imaging device corresponding to an array of tracking markers fixed to a flexible mesh, the mesh placed over a patient and over at least one surgical instrument adjacent to or connected to the patient; determining a position of each tracking marker in the array of tracking markers based on the image information; defining a boundary for movement of a robotic arm based on determined tracking marker positions, such that the robotic arm does not contact the patient or the at least one surgical instrument during movement of the robotic arm; and controlling the robotic arm based on the defined boundary.
